OpenAI model solves 60-year-old math problem, building on AlphaFold's success

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

An OpenAI model has reportedly solved a long-standing mathematical problem, a feat previously thought to require extensive human expertise. This development raises questions about the capabilities of general-purpose large language models in complex scientific domains. Separately, DeepMind's AlphaFold, an AI system, was recognized with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for its contributions to science, highlighting AI's potential in hard sciences where accuracy can be mechanically verified.

    Knowing Mastodon views on AI, let me ask people to remember that Alphafold, a DeepMind artificial neural network, already won an effin Nobel Prize in Chemistry! This stuff can really work in hard sciences, because you can check accuracy mechanically, or at least, quickly. NB that…

    Remarkable stuff as OpenAI model solves unsolved math problem. I thought this would take years, requiring huge sweatshops of PhD mathematicians to encode all existing proofs in machine readable format (Lean)…but here we are. How did they do that? And apparently through a generic …
